As for the wolf goes. A lot of people say there are better options. I will agree that the wolf is not spectacular by any means, however all other 1/1s dont have the same synergy as the wolf does.
This deck is designed to deal damage using many weak units every turn. And wolf helps secure that ideal.
A wolf on turn 1, deal 1 damage.
A wolf on turn 4, pop player aegis, finish with burn/units.
Comparing wolf to autotread.
Both 1/1
Both deal 1 damage.
For wolf it stops there.
For autotread, pay 1, discard, gain +1/+1
Wolf has a higher chance of staying on the field than autotread. No one is threatened by a generic 1/1. Thats what makes it perfect to buff with a fast spell.
Autotread. The same reason its so favored, is the same reason I avoid using it. It grows. And its too slow for this deck.
Let's say with the perfect hand. Autotread turn 1, turn 2 pay 1 discard 1.
What are you going to discard? The buff spell? No. The grenadin drone? Why. You're meant to play many units not big ones. Oh what about a sigil?
On a perfect and you have 3 sigil. You wouldn't discard one when turn 3 is your power spike. May you get buffs, relics, or even a 4/1 dragon.
The deal 1 dmg, pop aegis. Thats it. Wolf is more efficient that regards.
Deal 1 damage,
Some other issues I have is not being able to create a swarm. 4 3/1s or 3 5/1s are nice, but I want a horde. Like 9+ every game. So im looking for ways to accomplish that.
-4 forge wolf (does too little)
-3 Kaleb's favor (your curve stops at 3, and you already have fire etchings)
-3 bladekin apprentice (it grows so slowly for this kind of deck)
-4 Urn of choking embers (spending a whole card on this kind of effect is a great way of losing the game due to running out of gas)
-2 Barricade basher. What if I told you you can play baricade basher without reckless or discarding a card? Well, that card exists. It's Prism Golem
-3 Light'em up (does too little) -2 Rampage(this deck goes wide not tall)
-2 Gaudy showman (too fragile. there are better cards for that effect)
Now to filling up the open slots:
Torch (just a great burn spell)
Oni Ronin (2/1 for 1 + warcry. This guy on turn one feels so good)
Oni Patrol (another great 1 drop, wonderful for going turn 1 one drop into turn 2 double one drop)
more copies of Assembly Line (great budget option at going wide and setting up lethal)
Fire Conjuring (stricktly better Rally. It's good to have more than 4 copies of this kind of effect)
Prism Golem 5/5 for 3 without downside. Good beater
Passionate Stonehammer: Has evasion. Berserk is soo good with rally or relentless pursuit
Censari Dervish or Stonescar Sawed-Off (much better than showman, help you push extra damage the turn they're played)
Thunder of Wings: Exhaust a grenadin to get a 4/1 with flying and charge. Good to bypass blockers
Finally the market:
Pillage can help you get rid of big lifesteal/endurance units
-Thunder of Wings move this to main deck
If you already have a copy, I suggest replacing Kaleb's Intervention with Melt Down.
Edict of Shavka if you face aegis or primal/justice units
Mindfire to help you get throgh blockers
Also with the torch spell, is torch fine or should I run the 2 mana fast spell version?
The original plan was speed.
1/1 charge or 1/1 wolf turn 1
Turn 2 with 2 mana, 2 1/1 grenadin and a 1/1 charge.
That way if uncontested u deal 7 total damage on turn 3 or if u have a rally, etc. U can swing for 12.
I lost 1 out of 5 games. And it was due to 5 turns of power cards. Vs a yellow and purple midrange lifegain deck Any way to avoid a power rush?
